We report the first record of a Bengal Tiger, Panthera tigris tigris, in eastern Nepal in 2020 based on photographic evidence. We documented this evidence at 3,165 m a.s.l., which makes it the highest elevation record of a tiger in Nepal. We recorded this evidence in one of 46 trail cameras deployed for monitoring Red Pandas in the Panchthar-Ilam-Taplejung (PIT) area. The PIT area, which has non-protected status, borders India in the east. Our finding supports the importance of transboundary conservation, which will benefit local and flagship wildlife in the PIT area.

The need to conserve the tiger, an endangered species and avoid interactions with humans is among the main objectives of forest management of tiger reserves in India. The objective of the study is show that male tigers can be trapped by pheromones in urine and feces of tigress for subsequent translocation. A sub-adult male tiger strayed out of Sariska Tiger Reserve into the human dominated areas to look for territory. Attempts to tranquilize the tiger failed due to dense vegetation. Then the urine and feces of a captive tigress was used to trail the tiger, capture him, and release him into his natal area thereby avoiding incidents with humans. Tracking data indicated that the tiger had settled in the northern area part of Sariska and subsequently sired seven cubs with two tigresses.

SummaryA 10-year-old Bengal tiger with a history of chronic thoracic limb lameness was presented for clinical evaluation. Radiographs of the elbows revealed extensive osteophyte formation in both joints and three ovoid mineralised densities in the right joint. Joint fluid analysis was consistent with a degenerative joint process. The joints were partially explored arthroscopically. A medial arthrotomy of the right joint allowed collection of synovial membrane samples which, when examined histopathologically, revealed the presence of cartilaginous nodules with central endochondral ossification within the synovial membrane. A diagnosis of synovial osteochondromatosis was made. This case is compared to other cases described in veterinary and human medical literature.Clinical, radiological, and histopathological description of synovial osteochondromatosis in the elbow joint of a Bengal tiger.

Short Tau Inversion Recovery

The objective of our research was to describe the normal appearance of the bony and soft tissue structures of the elbow joint in a cadaver of a male mature Bengal tiger (Panthera tigris tigris) scanned via MRI. Using a 0.2 Tesla magnet, Spin-echo (SE) T1-weighting, and Gradient-echo short tau inversion recovery (GE-STIR), T2-weighting pulse sequences were selected to generate sagittal, transverse, and dorsal planes. In addition, gross dissections of the forelimb and its elbow joint were made. On anatomic dissections, all bony, articular, and muscular structures could be identified. The MRI images allowed us to observe the bony and many soft tissues of the tiger elbow joint. The SE T1-weighted MR images provided good anatomic detail of this joint, whereas the GE-STIR T2-weighted MR pulse sequence was best for synovial cavities. Detailed information is provided that may be used as initial anatomic reference for interpretation of MR images of the Bengal tiger (Panthera tigris tigris) elbow joint and in the diagnosis of disorders of this region.

A male, 9-year-old Bengal tiger (Panthera tigris tigris) with low serum T3 and T4 concentration died one day after recovering from anesthesia for routine health evaluations. Post-mortem radiographic findings revealed a distended stomach and loops of bowel in the thoracic cavity. At necropsy, severe displacement of abdominal viscera into the thoracic cavity through the esophageal hiatus was accompanied by rupture of the diaphragm, volvulus of abdominal viscera, strangulation of the intestines, and collapse of the lung. Microscopically, there were marked myodegeneration and myonecrosis of the diaphragm and varying degrees of congestion in the displaced organs. The thyroid had variably sized and shaped thyroid follicles with slight lymphocytic infiltration in the interstitium. The present case suggests that a hiatus hernia may be one of the life-threatening post-anesthesia complications in tigers with hypothyroidism.
